 This library provides support for computing 1D and 2D dual-tree complex wavelet
 transforms and their inverse in Python.
 
+The interface is intentionally similar to the existing MATLAB dual-tree complex
+wavelet transform toolbox provided by `Prof. Nick Kingsbury
+<http://www-sigproc.eng.cam.ac.uk/~ngk/>`_. This library is intended to ease
+the porting of algorithms written in using this toolbox from MATLAB to Python.
+
+The original toolbox is copyrighted and there are some restrictions on use
+which are outlined in the file
+:download:`ORIGINAL_README.txt<../ORIGINAL_README.txt>`.
+
+Aside from portions directly derived from the original MATLAB toolbox, any
+additions in this library and this documentation are licensed under the
+2-clause BSD licence as documented in the file
